Yep this should be fine; digital for 2 channel and analogue for multi-channel (of course what you realy need is a HD621 and scrap the analogue connections and use HDMI wink )

I would not personaly bother with this as the DACs in G68 are much better.

This is very important, don't forget to add in you non-Meridian equipment in to it as well; so all the sources and connections are correct.

This is correct, however it is not automatic in the G68 you will need to calibrate speaker level and distances (you will need a tape measure and a SPL meter to do this). Oh and a way of connecting your laptop to the G68). Again check out the WikI and also Google Search this site for help in the first instance.

If you wish to email me you .msf file once you have it setup [and a description off all you kit and how it is / wish it to be wired] I can check it out for you.
